Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
“又关我事？”
后面剧情好烂，靠脑补都补不了。还有柔光给的太太太足了。
3星半，就像是夏夜一个人喝冰汽水，喝了几口，放在一边，听着气泡在罐子里一个个炸裂，回忆第一次心动时的心跳，瓢泼雨里的热吻，毕竟也不是谁都拥有过。
整部电影看起来很像为了支持东亚女同而强行完成的一个表达政治正确的作品，而非把艺术放在第一位，尽管导演试图通过一些镜头表达细腻的情感，但效果不尽如人意。女版《刻在你心底的名字》，表达上差一大截。（61/100）
从电影艺术的角度来说，没有什么好说的，很糟糕的体验，滤镜过重导致失真的日系柔光，没有突出的叙事手段，情感激烈冲突的部分也拍得尴尬。故事本身还是有被触动到，虽然很狗血且不太合情理，但真的让我想起了初中时代的朦胧感情。可惜如今已是陌路人了，哎。
这个滤镜很像21世纪初的电影 大概故事发生在那个时间段 刻意为之？如果故事是两个男的，豆瓣会不会因为同妻的事情吵翻天呢？
- 古典音樂、配樂運用極差
仅剩的两星全给谈善言，打再多柔光都抵不住剧情拉胯。李芯悦连做朋友都不值得，最后嫁了没露脸的路虎大哥。
“怎么先炽热的却先变冷了，慢热的却停不了还在沸腾着。”
有些百合片剧情大纲五分钟就可以写出来，完全不知道在拍啥…
哭了😫一边骂着怎么这么drama 一边对着婚礼哭 无语 能不能别去喜欢的人的婚礼啊呜呜
总体而言，已经是拍得很好的姬片了！两个女演员真好看 呜呜呜呜呜看得我好难过 因为太真实了。有些人可能会觉得既然相爱为什么不在一起，长大之后明明没有小时候的障碍了，可是经历过的事是不可磨灭的，小时候的创伤是难以愈合的，不是对方给的创伤，而是大环境给的。我太能理解了。打分低除了以上缺点，还有可能是有些人有洁癖吧 毕竟双方都出现了一个男的 但从文学角度 我并不介意啦 总之就是蛮好的一个故事 看得人好难过😢
看半小时真看不下去了 大陆网剧般的十层滤镜 支离破碎的剪辑 违和至极的配乐 配音若是国语评分估计会再低两分 香港还是不适合拍这些玩意儿 这电影更像是完成政治正确题材任务的一篇作业 二人模仿张国荣的那一分钟真的是毁了阿飞正传这么好的电影…
- 插曲太老土
不太妙啊 抱着学习粤语＋看拉片的想法看的 但是剧情太拖沓了 让我无数次想快进 雨中亲吻那段挺不错的 但是全篇好像也只有这个镜头能打动我 配乐是二汶唱的 好好听 俩女主演技不太行 但是短发格外的合我眼缘
明明你也很爱她，为什么不去求一个结果？只要随孤勇而上，只要“勇气是唯一的回应”。
校园les故事，港式小清新，剧情有点拖拉，东亚拉拉故事最后都是这种be了吧。另外一位也太像沈佳宜了吧。多一星给两位演技。and林二汶嗓音也太适合这类剧情了吧。
不能接受后面的结局，既然都这么爱了还结什么婚
吻戏好看，就是有点用力过猛
“都没有秒针”这句好可爱，但是电影剧情转折都好硬，普通的一部MV电影
